corked wine?

It actually could be a lot of things. Sometimes when they clean the barrels between vintages they don't do a good job getting the cleaning agent off the barrels.

I sell a cabernet from Chile that has a really funky nose, yet the wine tastes fine. It perplexes everyone I show the wine to, including me.

I equate the smell of a corked bottle to Grandma's basement - very musty.

Not really sure what is going on with the bottles. Is the wine fridge in the kitchen by chance? Did it happen to stop working for a period of time and the bottles got really warm?
